Iced Blood: Icon Change.

I have been using the "Seto Kaiba Protection Squad" button from @kintatsujo for my icon for a long, long time.

However, it's 2025, and I decided it was time for a change. However, don't let that confuse you; I'm not leaving my boy, or my girl, behind.

This is Riley, a character from a story I've yet to publish. Kinta was kind enough to sketch him for me while I was on vacation in Ohio, and I inked and colored the sketch.

Thank you so much, honey.

He's wonderful.

Call Me a Cold Snap.

Hey, y'all. How's everybody?

Just wanted to drop a line on here so everybody knows: I'm gonna be on vacation for the next two weeks, so I won't have regular access to this account.

I'm headed across the country to see my girl. @kintatsujo and I have been planning this trip for most of the year, and we had to push it back. But here it is.

I won't be posting updates to my stories 'til I get home on the 12th of July.

See you then.

Have a great summer, and be good to one another.

Thank you so much Kinta 💙💙💙

I am looking forward to a fun day with friends ☺️

It was ten years ago now.

A relationship I had nurtured for my entire life up to that point fell to pieces. I lost a huge, defining part of my identity. I lost what I thought was the defining part of my identity.

I kept going. It was hard. It hurt. It was terrifying. But I did.

And you know what happened? I met one of the best friends I've ever had. Someone who taught me that I was allowed to love myself, that some relationships really were bolstering and not draining. That living with someone else can be fun, and enriching, and not ... exhausting.

I never would have met @thejanestofdoes if I hadn't kept moving.

And now? The past few years have been hard. I've lost so many people. My family is fractured. Fate has not been kind to the people who raised me.

We kept going. It was hard. It hurt. It was terrifying. But we did.

And you know what happened? I started dating the woman of my dreams. I'm a different person than I was, every day that I share with the people who chose me.

I never would have found @kintatsujo if I hadn't kept moving.

This isn't a flex. I'm not bragging.

I'm saying: it's hard. It's scary. It sucks. But keep moving. Keep going. There's something in the future for you, something waiting for you. There are people with a hole in their lives where you fit.

You can find it. You can find your space.

You can find your people.

I did.

Hello there! óvò I've been following your blog for years and I just want to say congratulations on finding love!! I watched you and Kintatsujo interact before and idk it makes me real happy to see y'all happy. I had actually interacted with you via DMs a long time ago when I created my own Kaiba blog but I was going through a lot at the time and thinking back on it, the way I spoke was embarrassing (hence being on anon now.) But! Life goes on. I'm following Paved with Good Intentions again on AO3 as well as going back over other AU fics still on FF.net and couldn't be more delighted. :) I found your writing during a very rough time (around the same time I made my blog) and I'm kinda going through it again so I am absolutely here for the revamp! I adore the way you write these boys. They feel so real to me and your writing style is great in my opinion. Thank you for what you do!! Just sharing some love from one lifelong Kaiba fan to another. Peace!

Awww.

Thank you so much!

I understand going through a lot. Don't feel bad. Life happens, we all do things we aren't necessarily proud of. I've definitely been there. It's all good. I'm glad you enjoy my work. All I've ever wanted to do with my writing was make someone's day just a little bit brighter, and it sounds like I succeeded here. That's all I could ever hope for.

@kintatsujo and I have been talking pretty much every day for the past 8 years. I'm starting to think maybe it was written in the stars that we would take this step with each other.

It took all the courage I had in me to broach the subject with her, but I don't think I've ever been happier with a tough decision.

Sometimes, you just gotta grit your teeth and go for it.

Have a fantastic day!

Thanks again for reaching out.

Your art trademark, imo, is the use of delicate line and the particular color choices you make (that are just. So incredibly soft)

Also the fact that you almost never use black in your linework, you use a sepia brown, which adds to the soft feeling (and somehow makes your chibis even more squishy looking)

Your art makes me think of a comfy café with a lot of plushy cushioned reading nooks and quilts hanging on the wall.

aaaaaaa thank you so much!!

You got polls at last! XD excellent

Yeah, and I have a feeling everyone's gonna regret that LOL. Anyway, I hope you're finally on too. They did say in the xkit discord server that they were planning to finish today. (Also, the update is so subtle, if you don't make a new post, you don't find the icon even LOL)
